However, I'm committed to the thing now, so I'll stuff it out, I suppose, though I'm not sure, after all, that I wouldn't chuck the whole thing if it wasn't that I wanted to see how Mellicent will enjoy her pink dresses. How many pink dresses will a hundred thousand dollars buy, anyway, I mean PRETTY pink dresses, all fixed up with frills and furbelows? As ever yours, STAN er JOHN SMITH.
I told her Faith could make lovely fancy things to eat and would like awfully well to teach her when she had any spare time, and Gussie says she'll be tickled to learn, 'cause she is only a plain cook and not up on frills yet."
"I think, think, the owl is very stupid not to begin," said the chaffinch. "If you please," said the fox, bowing most politely to the owl, "we are listening."
